Irish Experience Tours Reviews | Guest Experiences & Testimonials

We aren’t really a couple that go on organised tours, but took a chance by signing up for a 10 day Wild Irish Experience Tour. What a fantastic experience it was, seeing and experiencing the best of what Ireland has to offer, under the stewardship our very witty (just ask him!) and very Irish tour guide and driver Mark with a small group of friendly like-minded international travellers. We especially loved the coastal towns of Westport and Dingle, and even enjoyed a few Guinnesses watching the All-Ireland Hurling and Senior Football Championship finals (Go Mayo!) at quaint pubs along the way. We would do another tour with Irish Experience Tours (and of course Mark) in a heartbeat!

My aunt and I took part in the 5-day South Coast Experience Tour at the end of july. We traveled on the same bus as a longer tour group and returned to Dublin by train. The entire five-day trip was perfectly timed and organized.
Our driver/guide Lee impressed us, not only with his driving skills. His knowledgeable, humorous manner allowed him to guide the group through the journey with a real sense of ease.
In some locations, the group stayed in different accommodations - something we really appreciated, as it broke up the typical „group tour feeling“. All the accommodation were perfectly fine and the breakfasts were of a much higher standard than expected.
We would recommend Irish Experience Tours (small group) to anyone who, like us, is hesitant about driving through Ireland themselves.

This was the best tour I have taken. We did the 5 day Northern Ireland tour and visited amazing sites and stayed in excellent hotels. Our guide/driver, Lee, was outstanding and made the experience really special with his knowledge of local history, folklore and sense of humor. He went out of his way to accommodate all of us and nothing was too much trouble. The price of the tour was excellent as well. I cannot recommend this tour and Irish Experience Tours highly enough.

We had 5 wonderful days touring with Damien of Irish Experience Tours. We began in Dublin and finished up in Galway. We basically followed their 5 day itinerary, however, Damien also added so many other little photo stops along the way. His commentary and topics covered were all very interesting. The bus was more than comfortable and there were charging ports to recharge phones and/or cameras - good thing...there were so many photos to be taken. I would definitely recommend using Irish Experience Tours, leave all the planning, and driving to them - you cannot do better.

We loved this tour! Very thoughtful and organized, did not feel rushed at each location like some other group tours. We got to spend 3 hours at Blarney Castle which was plenty of time to explore the castle and surrounding gardens, which were amazing! We loved getting into town a bit earlier each night so we could settle into the bed and breakfast and go into town to walk around and explore. We also appreciated some "free time" to pick and choose and we wanted to do. My dad went golfing one morning, while the rest of my family took a carriage ride through Killarney National Park. Our guide Damien helped him organize the golf trip and made it so easy. Damien was informative, easy going and told us lots of bits of Irish history and information on those longer bus stretches. It made the trip enjoyable and effortless. We also loved the sheep demo, the farm was beautiful the people so kind! Highly recommend traveling with Irish Experience Tours.

Fantastic 13 Day Irish Experience Tour I just returned from a delightful tour of beautiful Ireland with Irish Experience Tours' 13 Day adventure! It was fantastic!! Our tour guide/driver, Anthony, was excellent he incorporated culture, history, music, and environmental facts into the drives, stops, and visits. His love of his country was evident and there was something for everyone!! We visited many well known attractions (i.e. Cliffs of Moher, Kylermore Abbey, Ring of Kerry) and many unknown places (Slieve League Cliffs, Kerry Sheep Farm, Torc Waterfall) .the tour provided us with a complete understanding of the country (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) with its history and its lovely people. As we entered each new town/city, Anthony drove us around and made suggestions for dinner, live music and nightly attractions before delivering us to our hotel or B&B. There were 16 of us on the tour (the maximum number) and that was great .it gave us a chance to get to know one another and make friends while not too overwhelming.

if you're considering a trip to Ireland and are interested in a planned tour, I highly recommend Irish Experience Tours! Enjoy and have fun!!
